~CERTIFICATION~
I went to take my certification test on Wednesday and THEY WOULDN'T LET ME. Why? ...because of confusion over my name change... even though I brought ID under my maiden name, married name, and my marriage certificate.
?!?!?!?!?!
I'm still waiting to hear back about that - I need to take it soon because I have another test to take in April that I need to get studying for and I refuse to pay ($100) for a retake. It's just not going to happen.
~EMPLOYMENT~
I'm still out of a steady job so I am subbing more than ever before and praying about applying at an alternative school for at-risk girls. It would be equally demanding and rewarding I think.
~MISSIONS~
We have our first leadership meeting for 2009 tomorrow & I'm super stoked. I'm ready to go back out again - as soon as God's ready to send me. In the meantime, I think He's really teaching me a lot and shaping me into the person I'll need to be to be used the most.
~MARRIAGE~
...is amazing. It's such a blessing. Last night I woke up from a bad dream and he woke up and prayed for me so I could get back to sleep again. (I have EXTREMELY vivid dreams - sometimes they're really terrible)
~DOMESTICS~
I have been cooking a lot more and I like it! This week I made pasta with sundried tomatoes, basil and toasted pinenuts; steamed broccoli and garlic; homemade mac'n'cheese with manchego and ham; and a curried chicken salad with naan.
I need to get some laundry done today and de-clutter a bit. We are in serious need of more painted rooms too. The kitchen is pretty and the rest of the place is the same color - lol.
~ME~
I'm realizing a few things about myself - sometimes it's cool and other times it steps on my toes a bit...
I need more girl-time - and with girls who are going to challenge me to grow - personally and spiritually.
I need to start being bolder with the things I'm good at and actually use them.
I need to stop being apologetic about the things I like... I'm not sure when I started caring what other people thought about my interests...
One thing I know is that God is doing a lot. There's a reason I lost my job. There's something I'm being taught through all this... maybe it's just to trust... but whatever it is - it's worth it.
